Hey Everyone! Check out the Amazon LINKS in the Description for TOOLS & SUPPLIES I used in this Video. Thanks for supporting this channel!
I just started tiling a shower that Has a concrete curb like that!! Some wonderful person put it in years ago and I was able to save it during the demo.
Thank you for using the Dovoh laser level. a tip: The target plate is self-standing and has a magnetic top. lol🤗
I realized that shortly after I started using it. I didn't want to have to re-shoot the video though at the time. Yes, it has that kickstand in the back which comes in handy. Thanks!

My deck has a brick/block border that is about 12 inches wide (previous owner was planning to build an addition on the house). Inside that I have a regular 2x6 framing. But I still need to attach the decking to the 12 inch area. The boards run laterally so will need to be attached their entire length versus just the ends like in this example. So the first three boards will be attached to the brick/block area. I like you idea, but I am concerned the anchors will work loose over time, especially since the boards are right at where the steps to the yard meet the deck. I was thinking of using Tapcons instead. Main problem is their color, but I figure i can paint them to match. So my question is how well to the plastic anchors hold up and have you ever trued Tapcon screws for this purpose ?
Hey Everyone! Check out the Amazon LINKS in the Description for TOOLS & SUPPLIES I used in this Video. Thanks for supporting this channel!
Do the post wobble left and right with those base plates?
No wobbling at all. Be sure to use 5/8" anchor bolts but you may need to drill out the hole in bottom of post base bigger. 1/2" hole is standard but not as sturdy.
Why not pour the concrete before the backer board? what size studs did you use? it looks like 2x4 which are 3.5 inches wide so how did you end up with a 3.5 inch high curb AFTER tile? how long did you wait before you removed 2x4's? did you spray with water? did you let it cure before tiling? did the wood support on top leave lines? did you smooth it out? you left every single thing I wanted to see out of the video lol....
Good question. I put tile on both the bathroom floor and on top of the curb. It makes it 3.5" tall still

Thanks for the video- I wanted to a vinyl railing on concrete stairs and use 4x4 wood posts with the same post post brackets you used. You think it will wobble?
Great video and work! Did you use 2x4’s for the frame or something else?
Yes I used 2x4 but had to rip them down to the proper height.
That black iron dust will be everywhere, walls ceiling, lungs and up your nose. Then it rusts. Get a sledge.
Yes you need to wear and good respirator. It will also stain your cloths with metal dust. One of my shirts is permanently stained because was sweating in it and the metal dust stuck to me. lol A sledge hammer would have caused to much vibration on this only house.
why do you need to screw sliding door bottom?
That is correct you don't need a screw for the sliding door typically. The screws in the concrete keep it from moving around ever.
How long do you need to wait to tile over concrete curb?
I would wait a few days to be safe it is fully cured
Was looking for 32’x30’ slap was told is $6+ / SF, so I did the forms paid cash for concrete trucks found someone on Craigslist had quick meeting on said paid him $2000 cash following week 6 guys showed up everything went prefect saved $3k
Good job! You may have gotten lucky and found a good concrete finishing crew
Scrub, if you did this shit you would know a man and a sledge hammer would have this out in a few minutes of swings. Cast iron thick and strong but brittle….
And far far less dust
But a sledge can cause major vibration potentially cracking plaster walls or breaking something on this old 1940's house. This is the safest option to prevent damage
you are a genius, fantastic idea
Good
How you gonna use a Vintage Collection board and then use TopLoc? Use Cortex, sooooo much cleaner. Concealoc hides all your other fasteners, but then you go and face screw the border. Come on man, spend the extra 10 bucks.
I have seen the cortex pop out on occasion and have to come back to put plugs back in. Also the TopLoc is stainless steel and color matching. You can hardly see it ever. But I see you point.
that's how we do in asia forever, when we remodel our bathroom i told the contractor he's laughs at me so i fire him i did it my self turn out beautiful ...😊
Haha good job!
I used a Sawzall and a Diablo carbide blade. I had it in half in maybe 15 minutes. Lots less dust and mess 3:58
Tapcons would be easier.
Yeah they are easier but they are not color matching the decking boards. They are blue
That's what I was thinking too. I have three boards to attach to brick/block for their full 16ft length. I am concerned the plastic anchors will come loose over time. Yes the Tapcons are blue, but I would think they could be spray painted to match the deck boards no? Before or after installation. That's the way I am planning to go anyway.
I have searched everywhere for the next video dry pack mud installation. I can't find it. I would like for you to guide me to that please.
Oh sorry about that, I think I was not able to complete that video portion. Did you watch the other redgard video with Pro Tips?
Very good information! Maybe I am blind but I can't seem to find the dry pack video, is it available?
Sorry about that, basically slope it 1/4" per foot and fill to the top of the flange of the shower drain.
@@TheLastNinjaBuilder No worries, thanks!
Actually this method is being used in many parts of the world without issue.
Hey Everyone! Check out the Amazon LINKS in the Description for TOOLS & SUPPLIES I used in this Video. Thanks for supporting this channel!
Did you mix by hand or with a mixer
All in a wheel barrow by hand with a shovel. It goes pretty quick actually
Hey Everyone! Check out the Amazon LINKS in the Description for TOOLS & SUPPLIES I used in this Video. Thanks for supporting this channel!
Okay thanks for that info 😊
Let's see how it goes
Couple things. Need pre slope. Pebbles around the drain. Also never run hardie into your mortar. Hardie is known for wicking moisture. Pre slope first. Then pan liner and do your curb pour at that point. It’s a fight to get pan liner to fold at curb. But you get a concrete curb with a pan liner and zero punctures in the liner
Watch my redgard video. I also did the preslope and then add 6" synthetic fabric at all edges and corners and then 6 coats of redgard. No pan liner needed. Also watch the oatey drain video to see how I did it.
You forgot your jacks
You mean trimmers? Those are 4x4's. Top of the beam went up to top plates

When I removed the cast iron tub at my rental property, I found the biggest rat nest I've ever seen! It was an ideal condition for the rats. The house was built in 1950 and when they plumbed the drain line they cut a huge opening that led to the crawlspace under the house. It's an old nest and I made sure every vent and open around the house was properly covered, and I patched the opening around the drain.
Wow great story. Good to know.
I was able to do it with one metal cutting wheel and three metal cutting sawzall blades. Good work!
Nice work! Yes a good sawzall blade would work as well in certain spots.
True story... I did a bathroom remodel a few months ago. We got a bid from a company to remove the tube, the surround (that was laminateed), and the vanity. We were supplying a new tub, a new surround, and a new vanity. They gave us a bid of 8K for demoing a 5'X9' bathroom. He estimated 8 hours on that bid at $85.00 an hour to remove the cast iron tub and surround. That didn't include the $175.00 dump fee he was charging to dispose of, just the tub. I'm good with tools I do maintenance work and am well-versed with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. I was totally surprised and dumbfounded by the bid. I never removed a cast iron tub, found this video and it took me a little over an hour to remove the tub. Double-check every proposal you get from all contractors.
Unbelievable, great job you saved a lot of money. Almost go scammed sounds like.
@@TheLastNinjaBuilder yes and it came from a reputable company! I could not envision that work taking that long and costing that much! Not matter who you are, paint dries the same!
@@34stzoo that sounds like he was charging $85 an hour for...like 80 hours? or one day and ten guys? Either way thats insanely high, especially for just the demo.
This was enjoyable to watch!
Thanks for the feedback
Cool video! I don't mean to be picky, but it seems like there is a slight blur and/or motion blur to the video? Or maybe it's just me I don't know.
I could have dust on the lens or moving camera to fast. Thanks though
Boy do I ever need someone like you! I wish I went into a trade instead of art school >.< I at least had access to a wood and metal shop which was fun.
Thanks I appreciate it.
